Research on viscoelastic fluid unsteady flow model based on torque loss correction

To address the complexity of unsteady shear flow in the initial start-up stage of rheometers, a model considering torque losses in motors and fixtures was developed based on the true torque balance relationship at the rotor boundary of the rheometer and the constitutive equation of the viscoelastic...
